We've introduced a new bookmark card to the editor which allows you to present links in a much richer format!

When using a URL with the right meta information, it can show the page title, excerpt, author, publisher and even a preview image. This is a great way to share links from sites that don't have automatic embeds. Here's an example of a bookmark card in action:

How it works

There's two ways to add a bookmark card to your posts:

1. Paste a link as the first thing in a blank paragraph – if no automatic embed is available, the editor will default to the bookmark card.
2. Manually select the bookmark card from the (+) menu or by typing /bookmark on a new line and pasting your URL – or for a shortcut /bookmark {url}

Bookmark cards require a minor CSS update in your theme, grab the code here. Ghost(Pro) users already have access to bookmark cards. Self-hosted developers can use Ghost-CLI to install the latest release!

We just shipped custom image alt tag support in the Ghost editor. This is one of our most requested features – and great news for accessibility and search engine optimisation for your Ghost publication.

Previously, you'd need to use a Markdown card to add an image alt tag. Now you can create alt tags on the go directly from the editor, without the need to add any additional cards or custom tags.

To write your alt tag, hit the alt button on the right in the caption line, type your alt text and then hit the button again to return to the caption text.

It's possible to integrate your Ghost publication with modern analytics tools that are privacy-focused, GDPR compliant and don't track your site visitors. Find out how with the latest additions to our integrations library: Simple Analytics and Fathom.

We're excited to add these solutions alongside other popular analytics tools, like Google Analytics and Segment. Keeping on top of your site metrics is a breeze using sensible code injection in Ghost.

We've just rolled out some new improvements to how we inform you about exciting new features, upgrades and other important information inside Ghost.

Now you'll see more personalised information in the admin area and each staff user can dismiss notifications at their own leisure. Keep an eye out for these notifications to find out about the latest features in Ghost!

We recently published some new integration guides including two new tools for implementing comments to your posts.

Guides on how to add comments to your site using Commento and Talkyard have been published, alongside existing integrations for Disqus and Discourse. Getting setup with comments takes just a few steps, using a snippet of code in your post.hbs theme files. This provides even more options to integrate a commenting system that suits your needs.

Discover new ways to connect your Ghost publication with your favourite apps and tools using our integrations library.

You can now access a live preview of your site from within the admin panel using the "View site" link. So if you're adding new content or updating your theme, you can preview your changes without having to leave the page 🎉
